Dark Energy with Dr. Michael Turner

Dr. Michael Turner

Aaron and I got a chance to interview Dr. Michael Turner, the cosmologist who coined the term “dark energy”. Dr. Turner shares his views on dark energy, cosmology and science in general in this 25 minute audio interview.

Favorite quote: the description of the universe as The Clash of the Dark Titans. He also predicts that in 10 years we will have dark matter pretty much figured out and will have made significant strides in understanding dark energy.

Tune in for AAS 2019 to find out if he is correct!

    Lol, I think he might have been on something a little stronger to come up with this theory ;-)

    Cheers, Ian
